Roman's Lab Volume 84: Rybka's Quest for Replacing The Ruy Lopez

description & information:

Hosted by Grandmaster Roman Dzindzichashvili

The Giucoco Piano & New way to Play Against the Sicilian with B-b5

On this DVD Roman and Rybka completely overturn a well established 100-year-old move in The Giuoco Piano (that no one ever dared to doubt), and claim sizable advantage for white. It's truly amazing to see how a harmless move that 4 different GM's (including Karpov) would not take seriously, and then after 20-30 minutes ... completely gave up for black, admitting White's superiority. This is truly one of the most revolutionary discoveries in modern chess theories.

Also introduced is a relatively new way to play against The Sicilian B-b5! White mixes The Rossolimo and Grand Prix variations with poweful suggestions from Rybka.
